Ten minutes later, Clarence ended the call.

He walked up to Stella and stood beside her. Then, he took a lock of her hair with a curled finger and asked softly, “Why didn’t you dry your hair completely?”

Stella replied, “My hair is quite long so it is very troublesome to dry it completely. It will dry naturally.”

“Wait here.”

Clarence withdrew his hand, turned and entered the bathroom.

Soon, he came back with a hair dryer and stood behind her. After setting the wind speed and temperature to medium mode, he gently blew her hair, “Next time, remember to dry your hair completely. If your hair is too long, you can cut it shorter.”

Stella was at a loss for words.

She didn’t know what to say at that moment.

The sound of the working hair dryer was minimal. There was almost no extra noise.

Stella said, “Mr. Conrad.”

“Hmm?”

“Can you tell me about Aurora’s biological mother now?”

The corners of Clarence lips turned upwards, “Didn’t you say that you don’t want to know?”

Stella gritted her teeth and turned her head to glare at him.

That wretched man behaved innocently even though he got the advantage over her!

It was getting harder for Clarence to resist the temptation to laugh. Seeing that her hair was almost dry, he put the hair dryer aside, “Fine. I was teasing you.”

Stella said, “What is going on?”

Clarence sat beside her and said slowly, “After leaving the Barton family, Aurora’s biological mother married a man and had a son. Some time ago, her son was arrested for fighting and causing a commotion. Therefore, she urgently needs a large sum of money to solve this matter now.”

Before that, when Stella heard Clarence’s words in the soft drink bar, she roughly guessed that Aurora’s biological mother was aiming for money.

Clarence continued, “But she didn’t keep still all these years. After being sent away, she carried out many different plans and tried to gain more money from the Barton family. Although Mrs. Barton was mentally unstable, she handled these matters efficiently so that no further problems would arise.”
